Double.

Eli had his 2 month check-up yesterday. And drum roll please...

he weighs a whopping 13lbs 5.5 ozs! That's in the 90% range for weight! And almost DOUBLE of what he weighed at birth. Niiice work bud. He's also in the 75th percentile for height at 23.5 inches. And in the normal 50% range for his head circumference.

Update: Eli also peed all over the doctor. Oh yes he did.

If you are freaking out about childhood obesity in Eli, don't worry. I was a very, very fat baby. And Ali and Ava, his cousins on my side, well, they are not small. And the Kasowski's aren't little petite things either. So he'll be just fine and should even out eventually. The doctor said all breastfed babies should be on the higher end at this age anyway.

But how wonderful, oh completely wonderful, to get to go to a well-baby appointment with this sweet, healthy boy. No worries, no concerns, no medical issues. Complete grace. Greg and I are thankful beyond words.

Eli's not able to keep his head up too long by himself but he can go a few minutes... so we stuck him in his bumbo (borrowed from our sweet friends) for the first time on Saturday. Greg and I were totally giddy with how stickin' cute he was in it!

And yes, we plan to use it frequently while we can still fit his chunky legs in it.
